Hi,

I've got several ideas matching Mark Wedel's view.

Yes , i think it's the way to do the things.

I really think the game server don't have to be concerned by the display. 
He's got only to handle positions, events , attributes of the maps,arch & 
players.(the game logic)


It's the client responsibility to display the things.

A good thing i think is to have a "tile server" , separated from the game 
server (in a logical way).

Clients could connect to the "tile server" to update their tilesets.
This server could be accessed by the artists to add their tiles.

The client will have to have an option to enable the player to get some new 
tilesets. (cf Mark's modif nb 1 to the client)

One good thing is that the game server will only have to do game logic!

I think it has to be done for the 2.0 version (i don't know much about the 
versionning policy).

I've got several other ideas for server,client and protocol but i need to 
get deeper into the current implementation to see if they're relevant.
